STACKED’s take
Hutchinson's role secure if he outcompetes Watson and maintains production.
Xavier Hutchinson has proven to be a capable rotational receiver who can block and contribute on special teams, serving as the backup for Nico Collins and allowing the offense to maintain its physicality at the position when their WR1 is out. His frame and toughness have kept him in the lineup and made him valuable as an option in the middle of the field. PFF's reception depth chart shows Hutchinson is employed between the numbers to gain tough yardage on slant and dig routes. His two touchdown day against Baltimore helped solidify him in the offense as a great option in spread offense packages with four or five receivers. However, he faces challenges to his role and potentially his roster spot as a whole, with veteran Justin Watson remaining a factor in the position group. If Hutchinson can win the spot and produce another consistent season, he should earn a team-friendly contract to stay as a depth piece.
